Here's What You Can Do:

  • Volunteer with Documenters to fill the gap in local media coverage and make sure public meetings are on the record.
  • Get educated about what journalists can do to help journalism survive, from getting involved in policy to unionizing.
  • Be heard about helping journalists and publishers receive fair compensation from tech platforms for use of their content and ask your representative to support the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act.
  • Invest in companies that align with your values using fennel.
